The Heartwood Oh, hey mom. I had the craziest dream! I was the unicorn wizard.

So, he got distracted. It didn't help that Teekon had been boring the last time that he had come around — Meldresi was dead, Miraak was there, but was hanging with some pretty hostile people — so he left. Big deal. There'd be someone else. Meldresi was high profile — priority number one, and everyone else knew that he was lazy as shit unless food or dick was involved. He didn't even know why they bothered sending him.

So he fucked around for a few years, travelling up and down the coasts, avoiding Teekon Wilds until he finally manned up and went there. He had no idea where the Woods were from the west, so he wandered around, going up and down, left and right.

He was traipsing through the bright woods in the flatlands, wondering if it had been a good idea in the first place. They could have all died by now. He had other jobs he could do, things he was actually good at. He grumbled to himself, blaming everyone but himself. Wolf smell blew into his face and he knew he had to change course as soon as possible, until

He smelled his mother, @Megara, and took pause.

What.
